Quite true. But human rights are inherent. And the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 clearly outlines these rights as recognized by the UN and includes the right to freedom of speech.

A side note - I must profess my gratitude to Roxy for starting this thread - it led to a series of surfing events which resulted in my discovery of and my securing an archival 180g vinyl copy of John Perry Barlow's recitation of his Declaration in a handsome gatefold package with embossed jacket and transcript, produced by the Department of Records and limited to 500 copies worldwide.

It will be the pride of my library. THANK YOU, Roxy!
